Sen. Cory Booker Marries Alexis Lewis In Two Private Ceremonies
Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey and investment executive Alexis Lewis quietly married in late November 2025 in two intimate ceremonies that marked a new beginning for the couple just two months after announcing their engagement.
Booker, 56, and Lewis, 38, first exchanged vows on Monday, November 24, in a courthouse ceremony at the U.S. District Court in Newark. Their parents served as witnesses, keeping the moment small and centered on family.
A few days later, the couple celebrated again in Washington, D.C. This second ceremony blended their backgrounds in an interfaith service officiated by both a pastor and a rabbi. The gathering remained private, reflecting the couple’s desire for an understated yet meaningful celebration.
In a joint social media announcement following the events, Booker and Lewis wrote that they were “overflowing with gratitude,” explaining that they chose two cities that shaped their lives. They said Newark represented Booker’s deep roots and commitment to public service, while Washington, D.C., symbolized Lewis’s family ties and early upbringing.
When confirming their engagement in September, Booker called Lewis his “partner, best friend, and now my wife,” and described their relationship as a profound source of everyday joy. Lewis later shared that she had never been certain marriage would be part of her life, but meeting Booker changed that. “We’ve found each other at this stage of our lives after epic personal journeys,” she said.
The couple’s relationship became public earlier this year after Booker proposed during a trip to Hawaii. At the time, he described Lewis as “one of the greatest unearned blessings” of his life, highlighting a sense of gratitude that has echoed through their public statements.
Lewis currently serves as a vice president of investments at Brasa Capital Management, a real estate firm. Prior to her current role, she worked in economic policy for the Los Angeles Mayor’s Office. Her academic background includes a bachelor’s degree from New York University and an MBA from Cornell University.
Booker, who has represented New Jersey in the Senate since 2013, built his career on public service and previously served two terms as mayor of Newark. Known for his activism, bipartisan work, and national profile, he remains a prominent figure in American politics. His recent marriage marks a rare personal milestone for someone often described as intensely focused on his public responsibilities.
Friends close to the couple have said that the dual ceremonies gave both families the chance to celebrate in meaningful ways. Their wedding reportedly emphasized tradition, unity, and the blending of the couple’s shared values.
Looking ahead, Booker and Lewis plan to focus on building their life as newlyweds while continuing their work in public service and business leadership. While some have speculated about how marriage might shape Booker’s political future, the couple has kept the conversation centered on family, gratitude, and the quiet excitement of beginning a new chapter together.
For now, their celebrations reflect a simple message the couple has repeated often: they are grateful, hopeful, and ready for what comes next.
